Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ZENTRA and our research compounds.

General

What are peptides and what does ZENTRA sell?

Peptides are short chains of amino acids — typically between 2 and 50 amino acids in length — that serve as signalling molecules in biological systems. ZENTRA supplies high-purity research peptides, pre-mixed peptide pens, bacteriostatic water, and laboratory essentials. All products are manufactured at GMP-compliant facilities and independently tested to verify purity of 99%+.

Are your products for human use?

No. All ZENTRA products are sold strictly for in-vitro research and laboratory use only. They are not intended for human consumption, veterinary use, or any clinical application. By purchasing from ZENTRA, you confirm that products will be used solely for legitimate scientific research purposes.

Who can purchase from ZENTRA?

Our products are available to researchers, laboratories, academic institutions, and individuals conducting legitimate scientific research. All buyers must be 21 years of age or older and agree to our Acceptable Use Policy and Research Disclaimer at the point of purchase.

Returns & Refunds

What is your returns and refunds policy?

Due to the nature of research compounds, we cannot accept returns on opened or used products. However, we offer full refunds or replacements in the following circumstances:

• Product arrives damaged or broken during transit
• Incorrect item received
• Product fails to meet stated purity specifications
• Order not received within the stated delivery timeframe

Please contact us within 14 days of delivery at info@zentra-peptides.com with your order number and photos of any damage.

Quality & Testing

How can I verify product purity and view the Certificate of Analysis (CoA)?

Every ZENTRA product undergoes independent third-party testing. You can verify purity in two ways:

1. QR Code: Each vial includes a QR code on the label that links directly to the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.

2. Online Verification: Visit our Verify Testing page and enter your batch number to view the full CoA.

What purity level are your peptides?

All ZENTRA peptides are guaranteed to have a minimum purity of 99%+ as verified by independent HPLC analysis. We do not release any batch that falls below this threshold.

Handling & Storage

How do I reconstitute peptides?

To reconstitute lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides:

1. Allow the vial to reach room temperature.
2. Using a sterile syringe, slowly inject bacteriostatic water (BAC water) into the vial, aiming the stream against the glass wall.
3. Gently swirl (do not shake) until the powder is fully dissolved.
4. Store the reconstituted solution at 2–8°C and use within 30 days.

Use our Mixing Calculator to determine the correct volume of BAC water for your desired concentration.

How should I store my peptides?

Lyophilised (unreconstituted): Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. For long-term storage (6+ months), refrigerate at 2–8°C. For extended preservation, store at -20°C.

Reconstituted: Store at 2–8°C (standard refrigerator). Use within 30 days of reconstitution. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

What is Bacteriostatic Water?

Bacteriostatic Water (BAC water) is sterile water containing 0.9% benzyl alcohol as a bacteriostatic preservative. It inhibits bacterial growth, making it suitable for reconstituting lyophilised peptides for research use.
